- This truncating feature can be controlled by setting the variable
- 'truncate-lines'. In my .emacs i define the following command:
-
- (defun toggle-truncate ()
- (interactive)
- (setq truncate-lines (not truncate-lines)))
-
- and bind it to a key sequence. Thus I can easily toggle between
- truncated lines and wrapped lines. After toggling it is sometimes
- necessary to force a redisplay by C-l to see the effects.
-
- Hope that helps
